Crochet Pattern: Super Simple Baby Socks

By Erin Burger – 30 Comments

This simple baby tube-sock pattern is perfect for beginners because of the easy-toe and easy construction. It’s also a great way to introduce a beginner to fingering weight (sock weight) yarn, which may seem like a daunting material at first. Sock yarn is great for Spring projects because of it’s light weight and is available at most stores in a variety of different fibers. This sock could fit a newborn up to six month old baby, depending on how stretchy your yarn is, maybe even older!
Different sizes can easily be created by chaining more or less for the length of the sock and making more rows to increase the width of the sock.

Skill Level: crochet skill level intermediate

Finished Size: Uncuffed, socks measure 6″ (15.24 cm) in length and are 3″ (7.62 cm) wide at top

Materials:
100 yards Fingering Weight Yarn
Crochet Hook E (3.50 mm)
yarn needle


Gauge: not needed for this pattern

  15. Is there a visual demo after row 15 ? Confused

    • Rachel Choi says:

      Hi Gloria!
      Sorry, I don’t think there’s a photo. After you crochet round 15, it should look like a rectangle. Then you are going to sew that rectangle into a tube shape to make the sock. The instructions are telling you to weave the yarn end in and out of the stitches along the short side of the rectangle, then pull it tight to cinch it together (this makes the bottom of the sock). Then you will sew the side of the sock together.

  16. What size do this fit i feel like i might be to big a square

  17. Heather Braaten says:

    Can this sock be made for preemie babies sock and how many chains and rows needed Heather braaten.

  18. Heather Braaten says:

    Can socks be made for preemie baby.

  19. Heather Braaten says:

    Can the socks be made for preemie baby.

  20. Rachel Choi says:

    Yes! I would recommend measuring the baby’s feet as preemies come in all sizes. Then you can adjust the pattern to be that size by changing the number of chains and/or rows.

  21. Heather Braaten says:

  22. Ronnie says:
